How do you know these 'good results' aren't psychosomatic? If you want something to work, your body can react positively

I realize that this is an old question but here's a link to the US National Institutes for Health website addressing the potential health benefits of earthing. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265077/Also, it may help to do a quick search on the terms "reactive oxygen species" and "oxidative stress effects on health."

I didn't get any good results - I think after trying to be very objective - it is ALL psychosomatic or placebo effect. I asked my husband who is an electric engineer about the "mechanics" of the electric current and he laughed and said Kepler would find this get rich scheme of the manufactures amusing - but not scientifically sound.

All I can tell you is that although I wanted it to work (see some positive results), I saw absolutely NO results (positive or negative).

Everything we do is psychosomatic because the mind is the director of the physical level. We are never free of effects of mind. Just use it positively. I have an earthing mat and I love it. It helps counter the EMFs given off by all the electronic devices in my life. Maybe those effects are psychosomatic too but they are real enough in my experience and cause fatigue headaches and blurred vision - oh and headaches and disturbed sleep too. So I am grateful for the mat. It has helped a lot with those issues. I do feel much better using it and if it is the power of my mind doing it then all the better!

If it is psychosomatic and your mind and body feel better because of it,you are still getting a positive result which is what we are all searching for.. Research the product watch the video Grounded . The whole idea is so obvious we have been lead away from Mother Earth and her healing energies The native Americans had it right they respected Mother Earth and lived close to the earth without effort.

Even if it is psychosomatic, I would consider that it still works. If you get results, it works.

It is not a miracle worker by any means. However, it is difficult for me to get enough protein in my regular diet so this really helps, especially if you have a good workout regimen. After cleaning up my diet AND adding whey protein, i have lost about 5 pounds in the last month.

I think if the gastro-intestinal system is working well, you will make better use of your food nutrients and then feel less hungry. It just might help in the overall scheme of healthy eating and exercise.

I've been taking this product for over five years. I don't know what you expect to notice as improvement or what you are trying to fix but this product is highly rated by many nutritionists and I feel assured that it is 'working'.

It has some good ingredients. See response below from another user. Now, I can tell you that I am in doubt but I think I am going to try it again. Last year when I tried this product, I experience an improvement in my overall fitness. I think I got to a different level in my running and cycling last year but I am not sure it was because of this product or my training. All I can tell is that I remember going to paces that I never attempted before to sustain for longer periods of time. I am going to try this product again and see if the same happens to me this year. I will have the question answered after this season if I see my IM ranking going up which I think I will. It has some good ingredients. See response below from another user.

Hi Jane, My thoughts on your question are that I think that it really depends on your body and metabolism. It is a mild and health stimulating product that for me is more for maintaining a healthy system and body than any kind of harsh or extreme action in your system. Everyone responds a little differently but all that I have heard and experienced has been good. I hope that this helps.

It takes an indefinite amount of time, because the very concept of a warming mat "detoxifying" is irrational nonsense. The idea that any product such as this can remove toxins from your body is based on neither scientific fact nor quantifiable evidence. The ability of warmth to relieve muscle pain is well established and accepted, but any other claims related to this type of product are nothing more than placebo effect.

The other reviewers have it right. I think you just have to experiment to see what works for you!

Your concerns are valid. The company offers a free bottle in exchange for a review, and positive reviews are encouraged. When I found out about this I was immediately put off and upset. With that being said, as much as I did not want to like the product it surprisingly works very well. Its 5 star reviews are warranted. The only thing I don't like is that you need to take 4 pills to get a full dose, but again, it does work. I usually take 2 pills and still notice a big difference in energy levels and general well-being.

Unless you are prepared (either by training or financially) to conduct a chemical analysis, you don't know. So either believe the description or don't buy. Remember, the placebo effect is very strong and powerful so if you don't doubt the description and believe that they work, they probably will. But you knew all of this already.

in my research it is taken up by the body better; and in my experience it does help.

Everyone does not respond the same. Each person may have different factors that play into their calcium absorption. I think if you took the product for 6 months then had a bone density scan you should see if you have positive results. I have bone density scans once a year, every year it was worse, and I was taking a lot of supplements to stop the loss of bone and they were not working. I took this product for one year before my next scan, when I had my scan, it showed a vast improvement. I'm a big fan of the product needless to say. I don't take prescription medications for bone, I feel they are not the answer because of the side effects. That's my personal opinion.KC Everyone does not respond the same.

Interesting... I've used this stuff a couple times now and haven't had any problems with the company or the product itself. I've actually done well on it - I workout regularly and its been helpful to keep my focus on nutrition on point. Its a bummer to see you're skeptical, but from my experience, I trust this product.
